Chapter 34 Sha Feiyang

Sure enough, the attack of the front team of the Liao army was easily stopped by Zhou Jun with a simple move.Not only stopped it, but also caused many Liao cavalry and horses to die immediately on the battlefield. At the moment when the brave knights in the front team were driving their strong horses and were about to jump up, a long pointing fork suddenly protruded from the top of the steel shield of the heavy steel shield cart.The heads of these finger-pointing forks are three-pointed thorns, and the back is covered with thick and long bamboo poles, which are both strong and light, and full of tenacity.Then the front end of Zhitiancha protrudes a lot of steel shields, and the root supports the ground.This is a defensive weapon, but at the same time, it can also use the impact of others to kill.And even if the opponent's attack power is too great, the bamboo pole is broken and broken after being hit by the prancing horse, the bamboo thorns and bamboo pieces at the broken place can still carry out the second round of killing.

The galloping horses of the Liao soldiers could no longer stop, and the huge inertia forced them to raise their legs and jump.They may be able to cross the steel shield and heavy vehicles, but in any case they cannot cross the pointed sky fork.A healthy horse was pierced on the fork like a barbecue, and each Liao warrior fell into the dust.At this time, the formation of the steel shield heavy convoy suddenly changed, some cars stopped, some cars entered, and the advancing cars immediately turned sideways to give way for the horses to pass by.If someone else's horse is nailed there, and someone else's knight falls to the ground, then it's time for your own cavalry to appear.The passage is so narrow that only one horse can pass through it.But many passages have horses and knights passing through at the same time, which is like many small streams converging into a torrent, rushing towards the Liao army's central camp.

The cavalry and archery teams on both sides of the Liao army also collapsed.They came out of the rear camp and lined up on both sides to form a blocking wall.But as soon as the formation of the cavalry and archery team was formed, the armored broadsword team that Zhou Jun charged over immediately stopped advancing and retreated to the back.And the light cavalry archers behind them also reined in their horses after passing the Broadsword team, and then also lined up in a horizontal line.So the next duel will be a bow and arrow shooter between Zhou Jun's Qingqi archer and Liao Jun's cavalry archery team.

Originally, the director of the Liao army was riding horses and archery, but they suffered a big loss in this confrontation.Although their bows and arrows are strong and accurate, all these advantages are meaningless if they can't shoot that far. Dazhou Qingqi shooter has already calculated the distance.From the position where they rein in their horses, they can shoot the opponent's archer with soft willow bow and thorny cone arrowhead, but the opponent's archer's iron-backed hard tire bow cannot shoot them.So this confrontation was simply a hunting game. The cavalry and archery teams blocked by the Liao army quickly dispersed, and the knights and horses left behind were just like the dead hedgehogs.

At this time, Da Zhou's frontal cavalry had rushed in.After the cavalry and shooting barriers on both sides of the Liao army collapsed, the armored broadsword team rushed to the front again, and this time they and the Qingqi who followed them accelerated their charge. The whole situation of the Liao army was in chaos, which was expected by Zhou Shizong. The disintegrated Liao army rushed to the pass of Shuangbao Mountain, all wanting to squeeze into the pass.But not all the carriages at the back of the mountain pass have come out, and it is not easy to turn around in the narrow passage of the mountain pass.Now that the Liao soldiers from outside squeezed in, it was equivalent to blocking themselves there.This situation was also expected by Zhou Shizong.

Zhou Jun chased after the Liao army and slaughtered. The scene of the killing was as simple and easy as stabbing a school of fish gathered in a fishing net with a harpoon.This is what Zhou Shizong wanted to see, and it was what he was confident he could see before starting the war. Yeluhe was really caught between the horses and the crowd and couldn't move.At this moment, he didn't just wield a long-handled hammer to command the formation, even if he used a long-handled hammer to drive away those Liao soldiers, those Liao soldiers ignored them and just squeezed desperately towards the mountain pass.

Soon half of the Liao army was killed or injured. Seeing that the situation was over, Yeluhe drew his scimitar across his neck and was about to kill himself.The lieutenant-general's soldiers beside him hugged him and shouted that he couldn't. "Marshal, don't take life lightly. It is better to kill the enemy than to kill yourself. Let's turn around and charge, and maybe we can make a bloody road. As long as we turn south to Shengmao Ridge and escape to Dade God Lake, we can enter the territory of the Northern Han Dynasty and get rid of it." Zhou Jun." Lieutenant General He Tan was originally a general of the Northern Han Dynasty, and later defected to the Liao Kingdom.He has been in charge of the defense of Shuangbao Mountain and is very familiar with the terrain in this area.

"Twenty thousand horses are lost, and Shuangbao Mountain has been breached. What's the use of escaping? As long as the Zhou army crosses the golden beach, Youzhou will definitely be lost. Where can King Liao escape to?!" Yeluhe sighed miserably. . While speaking, arrows rained down on them.Several close guards turned over and fell to the ground with the muffled sound of arrows piercing into the flesh, while more arrows were blocked by other guards and generals with shields, and landed with weapons.Without the protection of these people, Yeluhe would have ascended to heaven with an arrow without committing suicide.

"Guards of the Chinese Army, open the way to the south. Anyone who stands in the way will kill Liao soldiers and Zhou soldiers!" He Tan didn't care if Yelu Hezhen answered or not, so he issued the order for him.What they need most now is not to block Zhou Jun who is culling from behind, but to be able to move around. But before the guards of the Chinese army gathered and rushed south, Zhou Jun's second round of arrow rain had arrived, and this round was more urgent and denser than before.Seeing the rain of arrows falling down, a large number of soldiers will fall to the ground immediately.But at this moment, a ray of yellow wind rolled out of Shuangbao Mountain Pass, just in time to meet the rain of arrows.Although the soft willow bow has a long range, it lacks strength, and most of its strength is shot into the human body by the arrow's throwing and falling force.Therefore, under the influence of this strong wind, most of the self-falling force of the spine and cone arrowhead is relieved.At the same time, the direction was also deflected, and it fell down obliquely, making it difficult to cause damage.

Zhou Shizong Chai Rong watched the scene of bloody massacre from a distance, and he couldn't bear it secretly.The troops that Yelu Hezhen had gathered at Shuangbao Mountain were the last troops that the Liao Kingdom could mobilize in the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun.If they are wiped out, only a small number of city defenders will remain, and there will be no more effective blocking and defense.However, if the Liao Kingdom wants to mobilize the troops of the northern states and tribes, it will not be able to integrate them into the battlefield within two months.So next, my own army can drive in without any scruples and take Youzhou.His wish to regain control of Youyun Sixteen States is just around the corner.

Chai Rong once asked Wang Pu, who was proficient in warlocks, how long he could stay in power.Wang Pu returned to him for thirty years.So Chai Rong set his ambition: "Ten years to expand the world, ten years to support the people, ten years to achieve peace." The Liao Kingdom is the first step in his plan. He wants to unify the territory first in the north and then in the south in ten years.But now the situation in front of him has already indicated that the first step is about to be successful. He seems to be standing on the top of Youzhou City at this moment, watching the townspeople kneeling down to worship, watching the red sun enter the clouds, and the sand blowing up with the wind. The Yunjuan flag flipped. At this moment, a handful of strong winds carrying yellow sand hit Chai Rong's face, waking him up from his reverie.He didn't care to spit out the sand that rushed into his mouth, but immediately adjusted his mind and rolled his eyes to re-examine the battlefield.He found that the moment his thoughts wandered, the situation on the battlefield changed dramatically. The change in the situation was not due to the opponent's counterattack, nor was the opponent's effective defense organized, but the attack and killing of the Da Zhou army was hindered.Gusts of strong yellow wind rushed out from the pass of Shuangbao Mountain, and first of all, the arrows flying in the air lost their attack power.Immediately, the wind entered a wide area, circling and sweeping, bringing more sand and dust on the battlefield.The sky was covered for a while, so that Zhou Junbing couldn't see, let alone chase and kill. On the other side of Shuangbao Mountain is the Golden Beach, where sandstorms often occur.If the sandstorm blows in the southeast direction, it will be blocked by continuous high mountains when it reaches Shuangbao Mountain.However, the momentum of the sandstorm can still be squeezed out of the valley between Shuangbao Mountains, and the wind force will increase several times through the action of the narrow valley. Chai Rong is located far away from the battlefield, so he can clearly see the overall situation.The wind and sand all over the sky first covered all the Liao army, and then covered up the attacking front team on their own side.The armies on both sides were soon immersed in a mass of chaos, unable to see or stand firmly. "Your Majesty, the wind and sand at Shuangbao Mountain Pass are rising, and you can't tell the enemy from three steps away. This kind of weather is not good for our army. The soldiers can't open their eyes, and the light riding and fast shooting are useless. In contrast, the soldiers of the Liao Army They seem to be more adapted to this climate, and they have accelerated their retreat to the mountain pass." A fast horse rushed out of the wind and sand, and galloped straight in front of Chai Rong.Before the horse stopped, the general hurriedly reported the sudden abnormal situation to Chai Rong. Chai Rong didn't need to look, just from his voice, he could tell that it was Li Chongjin, the commander of the former army and the forward commander.He let out a soft "bah", spit out the grains of sand that he had just blown into his mouth, and then said expressionlessly: "I have seen it, General Li, what suggestion do you have?" "The army should be withdrawn as soon as possible, and the rear army will first occupy the forest in the west. Then the whole army will move westward, according to Lin Jie camp to avoid the wind and sand." Li Chongjin replied decisively. Chai Rong glanced at the yellow sand that was spreading rapidly towards him, and knew very well that Li Chongjin's suggestion was correct.But he felt a little bit reluctant, because a great situation was in front of him, and this was an opportunity to put the Liao Kingdom to death.Choosing to give up this opportunity is indeed difficult for an overlord who is full of ambitions to keep the stability of northern Xinjiang forever. But whoever can become the overlord must have the heart of a hero.He will not seize the immediate benefits, and he knows that forcing is not feasible but the gain outweighs the loss.What's more, the future is long, and the current strength of the Liao Kingdom is no match for the Zhou army.It's okay to let it go today. When the wind is clear and the sun is clear, defeating the enemy is just a matter of raising your hands. Chai Rong raised his hand. Only a generation of kings with confidence and ability can raise this hand with the heart and spirit.Naturally, someone around him knew what Chai Rong meant by raising his hand, so the sound of golden beeping followed one after another, and the army moved and retreated quickly. Hearing the sound of Zhou Jun's golden call, Yeluhe breathed a sigh of relief, then limp on the horse's back, and retreated into the pass of Shuangbao Mountain with the crowded horse team, leaving behind human and horse corpses all over the ground.In this battle, more than half of the Liao Kingdom's 20,000 cavalry lost more than half, and the remaining soldiers and horses were no longer able to confront each other head-on, so they could only use the terrain to hold on to Shuangbao Mountain. The sandstorm on the Golden Beach lasted for a day and a night, covering the battlefield outside Shuangbao Mountain with a thin layer of yellow sand.But death cannot be covered up by this thin yellow sand, and the continued death cannot be stopped by this sand dust. As soon as the sandstorm stopped, Chai Rong, Li Chongjin, Zhang Zangying and other generals led a small team of personal guards to the surrounding area of ​​Shuangbao Mountain to observe the terrain and terrain, and asked the local mountain people to find a hidden path to bypass Shuangbao Mountain.Then attack from east to west and wipe out the defenders of Shuangbaoshan. The terrain of Shuangbao Mountain is very special, and it is hard to say which side is beneficial to the war.Although there are no city defense facilities at the mountain pass, there are no other hidden paths. There is only a valley road sandwiched by two mountains. The valley road is long and narrow, from the mountain pass in the west to the golden beach on the other side.On both sides, the peaks are high and the rocks are dangerous, and quicksand and falling rocks occur from time to time.Not to mention the entire army, accidents often happen to ordinary merchants passing through here.
